Ok, I am more confused than ever. I called Microsoft at an 800 number and
after setting on hold for almost an hour I was all of sudden in Pakistan. I
don't speak pakistonian nor do I understand a word this said. I put the phone
on speaker and called my g/f to help me understand this guy and I swear
neither one of us could understand him enough to finalize the transaction. I
know at one time he said something about $35 and another time he said
something about $10. Against my g/fs warning I gave him my credit card
number. When he came back and wanted me to repeat everything all over again
because my c/c didn't go thru I knew I had more than $10 in my c/c account so
I immedialtely thanked him and hung up. Back to the newsgroups .... Here is
exactly what I have: (1) A 1/2"x1 7/8" sticker on the back of the CD box
(which is an oversize CD box about 6"x8") that says: CD SET: X09-57993. (2) A
box that the CD case and other advertisement came in. On the top of that box
is a label that is 1 3/4" x 4 1/4". It has numbers and letters arranged as
thus:
Left Side:
503-0xxxx
PO 4400xxxxxx LINE 6
WO 0127xx-xxxx-xx TEAM: SCLA
STDNT LIC DSKTP 2003 WIN32 ENGLISH
MADE IN USA (PUERTO RICO)
FOR DISTRIBUTION IN US/CANADA ONLY
Right Side:
999xx-xxx-60x-xxx
BARCODE
UPC BARCODE
8 055529 43878 1
To the left of the label it says "This label indicates that the package
contains genuine Microsoft product...."
I got this from Office Depot a while ago and I never ended using it because
my laptop I bought shortly after that came with Office 2003 Pro. I want to
give this to my brother for his family but I want to make sure it is legal
for him. I know I have never registered it because I never used it. There
appears to be a gummy spot on the plastic CD case where my kids may have
pulled a sticker from.
Thanks,
Clay
